There is growing concern among the Ugandan public and child protection practitioners about the persistent reports of child sacrifice and trafficking which are manifested through kidnaps, abduction, murder and disappearance of children.

The heinous practice of child sacrifice has been linked to a range of other forms of child abuses including trafficking, kidnap and abduction.

It is believed that the practice of child sacrifice has slowly turned into a clandestine business involving traditional healers and business men. Both parties are after obtaining quick wealth.

Leah Oviedo says...Thanks for bringing up such an important subject for discussion. Children should be protected, not sacrificed.

Welcome Leah Oviedo, we are losing innocent lives in the name of traditional sacrifices and sacrifices to gain wealth, people need to stop the practice, our government need to do more by bringing a law to regulate acts of traditional healers in Uganda.
